Verse 1
[Bm]How's one to know?
I'd [G]meet you where the [Em]spirit meets the [Bm]bones
In a [G]faith forgotten [D]land
[Bm]In from the snow
Your [G]touch brought forth an [Em]incandescent [Bm]glow
[G]Tarnished but [D]so grand [A]
Pre-chorus
And the [Bm]old widow goes to the stone [G]every day
But I [Em]don't, I just sit [Bm]here and wait
[G]Grieving for the [A] [D]living
Chorus
Oh, [Bm]goddamn
My [A]pain fits in the [G]palm of your freezing [D]hand
[Bm]Taking mine, but [A]it's been promised [A]to another
[D]Oh, I [Bm]can't
[A]Stop you putting [G]roots in my [D]dreamland
My [Bm]house of stone, your [A]ivy grows
And now I'm [Bm]covered in [G]you
[Em] [Bm] [G] [G]
What if he's [D]written "Mine"
on my upper [A]thigh only in my mi[Bm]nd?
One slip and I'm fallin' ba[D]ck into the hedge ma[A]ze
Oh, what a way to d[Bm]ie
I keep recalling thi[G]ngs we never d[A]id
Messy top-lipped ki[D]ss, how I long for our try[Bm]sts
Without ever touc[G]hin' his skin
How can [A]I be guilty as [D]sin?
Verse 2
I keep these longings [G]locked
In lowеrcase inside a [D]vault
Someonе told me, "There's no such thing as bad tho[G]ughts
Only your actions ta[D]lk"
These fatal fant[D]asies
Giving way to labored bre[G]ath takin' all of me
We've already done it in my he[D]ad, if it's make-believe
Why does it feel like a [G]
vow we'll both uphold some[A]how? [A]
Chorus
Oh-oh, oh-oh, [D]oh, god[Bm]damn
My [A]pain fits in the [G]palm of your freezing [D]hand
[Bm]Taking mine, but [A]it's been promised [A]to another
[D]Oh, I [Bm]can't
[A]Stop you putting [G]roots in my [D]dreamland
My [Bm]house of stone, your [A]ivy grows
And now I'm [Bm]covered
Verse 3
[Em]Clover blooms [Bm]in the [D]fields
[G]Spring breaks loose, the [A]time is [Bm]near
What would he [A]do if he found [D]us out?
[Em]Crescent moon, [Bm]coast is clear
[G]Spring breaks loose, but [A]so does fear [Bm]
He's gonna [A]burn this house [D]to the ground
So what if I [A]roll the stone away? [G]
They're gonna crucify me anyway [D]
What if the way you [A]hold me is actually what's [G]holy?
If long-suffering propr[G]iety is what they wa[A]nt from me
They don't kn[D]ow how you've haunted me so stu[Bm]nningly
I choose y[G]ou and me religio[A]usly
Verse 4
[Bm]How's one to know?
I'd [G]live and die for [Em]moments that we [Bm]stole
On [G]begged and [A]borrowed time
So [Bm]tell me to run
Or [G]dare to sit and [Em]watch what we'll [Bm]become
And [G]drink my husband's [D]wine
Chorus
Oh-oh, oh-oh, [D]oh, god[Bm]damn
[A] [G] [D] [D]
What if he's [D]written "Mine" on my upper [A]thigh
only in my mi[G]nd?
One slip and I'm fallin' ba[D]ck into the hedge ma[A]ze
Oh, what a way to d[Bm]ie
I keep recalling thi[G]ngs we never d[A]id
Messy top-lipped ki[D]ss, how I long for our try[Bm]sts
Without ever touc[G]hin' his skin
How can [A]I be guilty as sin? [D]
My [Bm]house of stone, your [A]ivy grows
And [D]now I'm cov[Bm]ered in yo[A]u
[G]I'm [D]covered [G] [A]
Bridge
So [D]yeah, it's a fire
It's a [G]goddamn blaze in [A]the dark
And you [D]started it
You started [G]it [A]
So [Bm]yeah, it's a war
It's the [G]goddamn fight of my [A]life
And you [D]started it
You started [G]it [A]
Outro
Oh-oh, oh-oh, [D]oh, I [Bm]can't
[A]Stop you putting [Em]roots in my [Bm]dreamland
My [A]house of stone, your [D]ivy grows
And [D]now I'm covered
In [Bm] [A]you, [G] in [D] [Bm]you
[D] [A] [D] [G] [A]
[G]Now I'm covered in [D]you
But without ever touc[G]hin' his skin
How can [A]I be guilty as [D]sin?
